I cant believe the Sox granted permission with no restrictions to report on this. Not sure I've seen anything like that before in sports given the situation. Love it though.

Probably lands on another roster quickly, 4.25 ERA away from Sacramento and lots of teams need arms

Getz has done a great job in this aspect. Having the pretty nice war room and the ESPN reporter tell all was a big balls moment. I'm def enjoying the ways the org is moving these days, however the process arrived at Getz, it's working. I was looking at some of the position player fWAR on those teams and in hindsight pretty mediocre. we had some pretty good SP for a minute, the position player side was a bunch of old guys holding on to some prime, some never would be guys and some talented but injury prone youngsters. Grandal was a s%*# signing overall, damn man, guy just gave up.

It really is wild how many games those core guys were out due to injury and hardly ever fully played with each other. Barely half a season worth. What’s also crazy to me is that wasn’t all that long ago. 4/5 years? The quick turnaround for not only the major league squad, but seemingly the entire organization, is just baffling to me. If the Sox win a championship in the next 3-5 years someone needs to make a documentary about this transformation.

The article wasn’t about “keeping the door open”. It was about the discussion that took place to determine who to select. It’s not a big deal. I just thought it was amusing. Like I said before, I’m not trying to knock the Sox in any way. I thought it was a very cool article.

Telling him and keeping the door open for a last minute change are not mutually exclusive

It would be fascinating to hear Jose talk about some of the things he experienced. I wonder if the Sox will start to involve him in things.

I'm not trying to pick a fight but for an analytics oriented guy it's sorta wild to handwave away basically a 2 WAR head start as a solid defensive SS over an average LF. Bonemer is a great prospect, but nobody is drafting him 1st overall in this draft. roch's path to 4 war is like 240/320/400 and play a solid, not elite, just solid defensive SS. Caleb's is like 240/340/530 and don't trip over your dick out there in LF. It's easy to see in this example why positional scarcity matters. If you want to argue Bonemer will be too good to move off "the dirt" (this and "shoving" are annoying me) that's a different argument, one I don't really pretend to have an opinion on.

No. Apple TV is it's own separate app like Netflix, Hulu, etc.

Is Apple TV on Youtube?

The org is doing things the right way process wise for the first time in a long time. Maybe since the late 90s, including the media side of things and fan service.

Kind of feel like Mune gets what it's like to be an southsider. He was born to be at this club. Love it. I imagine they'll try and get an extension done before the end of the year. You know Jerry must be salivating at the $$$$ he brings in.

Two national games this series

Think that's either the 2nd or 3rd surgery on that same knee now. Not good.

Current core doesn't have quite as many superstar ceilings...but overall possess the higher floors across the board. That said, Vargas/Colson/Mune all have been great at various points this year. And right now it feels like the depth is tremendous everywhere but CF and across the pitching staff. Biggest "worries" positionally are Antonacci vs. Meidroth and the catching spot...at least ATM. Not exactly team killing issues. That said, Bonemer and Roch could be huge movers to push it over the top, and then there's always the Mune wild card, too. What ranking did Baseball America give to the various drafts?

If the sportwriters had the only voice in the MVP decision, why were they promoting the fan vote?

This is why they traded Gonzo… to take maximum advantage having the first slot. Hopefully some people are starting to understand this now. They had a chance and they seemingly hit.

Carlos Rodriguez and Barfield weren't quoted...but they were/have been cited by Shirley and others during those All Access Fri interview nights.

Add Dave Portnoy to that list.

Outside of baseball fans, Pat McAfee probably is a bigger star than Murakami. He was a punter and kickoff specialist in the NFL for 8 years and had a fairly long tenure in the WWE. He makes more money from ESPN and other ventures than the Sox pay Murakami.

I saw this earlier. That loudmouth irks me always cutting his guest off . So bombastic, thinks he's the star and not his guests.

Aww man Gonzo
